Date/Time
Date(s) - 17 May 2018 5:30 PM - 6:30 PM

Protest at the next screening of the Seret Israeli Film Festival
Thursday 17 MayBoth screenings will be at the Duke’s at Komedia in Gardner Street in the North Laine(not at the Duke of York’s Cinema in Preston Circus)

The SERET London Israeli Film Festival is an Israeli government-sponsored event, ostensibly to showcase Israeli cinema but in reality a cynical exercise in using cinema to try to rehabilitate Israel’s reputation in the UK.

The films being screened at Duke’s @ Komedia may be fantastic films.
That isn’t the point.
The point is that the Seret Festival is being financed, and used, by the Israeli government to ‘art-wash’ Israel’s appalling human rights record, and its long history of flagrant violations of UN resolutions and international law.

Join us outside the venue to protest:Thursday 17 May – Film starts 6.30pm. Protest from 5.30pm.
